晚清民国时期柳江流域蔗糖运销网络与社会经济发展

Sugar Distribution Network and the Social and Economic Development in Liujiang River Basin in the Late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China

晚清民国时期,在柳江流域蔗糖业不断发展的基础上,形成了以宜山、长安、鹿寨为一级中心,柳州为二级运销中心,以梧州为三级转运总中心的连接黔、湘、粤港和国内北方市场的蔗糖运销网络。广东等外省商人是这一运销网络的主体。抗战时期柳江流域甘蔗良种示范推广事业未能转化为推动糖业现代化的内在张力,加之蔗糖运销从属于农林土特产运销网络,对促进柳江流域社会经济发展的效应有限。

On the basis of the development of sucrose in the Liujiang River Basin in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the sugar distribution network was established in Liuzhou as the marketing center, Yishan and Chang＇an as the subcenters to connect the enterprises in Guizhou, Hunan, Guangdong and Hong Kong and northern China. Businessmen from Guangdong and other provinces were the main agents of the distribution network. During the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the practice of demonstration and extension of sugarcane varieties in Liujiang River Basin failed to be transformed into the internal tension for promoting the modernization of sugar industry. In addition, sucrose transportation and marketing were inherited from the distribution network of agricultural and forestry products, and the effect of promoting social and economic development in Liujiang River Basin was limited.
